I attended a bootcamp in 2018, and I'd wager that that's when the market started to get flush with bootcamp and CS grads. In 2019 and onward, I feel like I would've had a much harder time finding a job. 1. It took 13-14 inter

My last company (non-tech and small to medium in size) bought a floor in their building and spent a lot of time and money on making it "welcoming". They fitted it with new desks and chairs, a large kitchen, common areas, small mee

I save most of the RAW image files of my photos, and with each RAW file being anywhere from 20-40mb I'd estimate the size of my hard drive to be anywhere from 40-80gb. I also duplicated the RAW files onto a second hard drive, but I hav

The actress Sandra Oh is one of the first persons to come to mind, when I think of how to answer questions on the spot. She never hesitates to give herself a few seconds to ponder the question and give an answer, and she comes off as being

In the article, one of her paintings is A Portrait of the Artist's Sisters Playing Chess and there's something about their facial features and expressions that seem almost photorealistic, in an odd way. I was caught off guard an

In terms of powerful soundtracks, Hans Zimmer's score of The Lion King is usually the first to come to mind. As a kid, it was the first soundtrack that moved me to near tears. I was less interested in the vocal songs (to be fair, I s

How would you keep the flat sheet in place? I have a love-hate relationship with fitted sheets, but when they're on the mattress they usually stay put.

I want to have fitted sheets that are easy to put on a mattress and will not snap back when I'm trying to put them on. Fitted sheets are constructed the same, more or less, so something that breaks the mold and does the above would b

I used to use Newpipe, but I realized that I couldn't port my YT playlists (how I keep track of music) to it. Vanced lets me log into my YT account so all of my playlists were available right off the bat.

Breathing into a paper bag is a stereotypical "calm yourself down when panicking" technique, but I've done it mid-panic and it has had an effect on me. With that being said, it's debatable as to how well it works.
